Flash player in Ubuntu 11.10 stopped working with recent update

Can you give the output of:
uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|grep|gnash|spark'
Thanks.

Enable the partner repo and run:

sudo apt-get install adobe-installer

This will give 64bit flash for your 64bit OS.

actionparsnip - I got the first parts of your last message done, but when I went to sudo apt-get install adobe installer the puter told me it couldn't find adobe installer. My guess is I have no idea what enable the partner repo means. Can you hit me back? The commands uptop worked fine. removed all the old junk in other words

ok what is the output of:

apt-cache search adobe

Thanks
